The young woman in red was obviously an extraordinary individual. As her eyes flashed, the blood lake behind her seethed, and an eye floated up from its depths. The eye had a vertical pupil and seemed intensely malevolent. It also created crushing pressure that formed a world of blood in the area.4

The eye... looked at Xu Qing.1

Xu Qing… completely ignored the eye!9

This young woman was only in the one-palace level. Her imperial-class technique was also in the second stage, making her battle prowess equivalent to the two-palace level. Combined with her decisive attack methods, she was the kind of person who would generally be able to easily overwhelm any opponent.0

But she didn’t understand how strong Xu Qing really was. He had two palaces, but made it a practice of keeping them covered, which made it hard to tell his true level. He also didn’t commonly reveal his second-stage imperial-class technique. Without taking time to examine him very closely, it wasn’t possible to tell how strong he actually was.2

Therefore, it didn’t matter how the girl in red struggled, it didn’t do her any good.0
